EU SPRINT 1998
The EU Sprint Gang hereby invites you to participate in the  four European
Sprint Contests held in 1998

Entrants:  any  licensed station may enter the  Sprint.  European stations
can work everybody, stations outside of Europe can  work only European
stations.

Categories: Single Operator ONLY. Only ONE signal may be aired at one time.

Dates:
EU SPRINT Spring:
SSB: third Saturday in April - 18 April 1998 - managed by G4BUO
CW:  third Saturday in May - 16 May 1998 - managed by B.C.C.
EU SPRINT Autumn:
SSB:  first  Saturday in October - 3 October 1998  -  managed  by I2UIY
CW:   second Saturday in October - 10 October 1998 -  managed  by OK2FD

Time: from 15:00 UTC until 18:59 UTC.

Bands:  20,  40 and 80 meters only. Pilot frequencies  are:  SSB: 14.250,
7.050, 3.730. CW: 14.040, 7.025, 3.550

Exchange: all of the following data MUST BE PART OF THE EXCHANGE:
a) your callsign, 
b) the other station's callsign,
c) your serial number starting from 001 (RST not required),
d) your name or nickname.
Please  note  that  BOTH  callsigns  MUST  be  repeated  by  BOTH stations. 
A valid exchange is: "OK2FD de I2UIY 118 Paolo" while "OK2FD  118 Paolo" is
NOT a valid exchange.

Special QSY Rule: if any station initiates a call (by sending CQ, QRZ?,
etc.), he is permitted to work ONLY one station on the same frequency. He
must thereafter move AT LEAST 2 (two) kHz before he may  call  another
station or before he may  solicit  again  (CQ, QRZ?, etc.) other calls.

Valid  contacts:  valid contacts are QSOs  correctly  logged  and
confirmed. Each operator may use ONE and ONLY one name during the Sprint.
If the exchange is copied incorrectly, that operator will receive  zero
(0) points. In case of miscopied  callsigns,  both stations will receive
zero (0) points for that QSO.

Scoring: each valid QSO counts one 1 (one) point. The final score is the
total number of QSOs.

Awards:  there are NO awards or prizes since these contests  have been
created to test the individual skills only. Results will  be forwarded   as
 soon  as  possible  to  Leagues,  magazines   and bulletins.
